Re: Brooklands 1.1.19

I can't help but think you are missing the point? Here's how Brooklands advertise the event... Everybody – whether you’re driving a “Classic” or not – is welcome to the largest New Year’s Day Classic Gathering in the UK. With over 1,000 vehicles expected, live music and a winter barbeque and other a...

Re: What’s the worst car you’ve ever owned?

1984 Mk1 Seat Ibiza

Only bought it because it had "System Porsche" cast in the rocker cover & on stickers in the window :roll:

Re: Garage flooring recommendations - paint vs tiles vs ...?

Yep, tiles over rubber or paint. 8) I've got several garages at home.. The 3 garages with painted floors are worst, mark, scratch, stain & flake over time. Needs annual maintenance, doesn't like grinding or welding. I have a double with a sheet 5 bar aluminium chequer plate floor (seemed a good ...

Good spot! You have to remember this is a prototype, the first of it's kind, the engineering is evolvin...
